Washington, July 25.—After spend ing nearly three months in an in vestigation of the subject, a special committee submitted a report to the senate today declaring without foun dation charges that the federal civil service commission had been biased Jjy political influence in its examina tion and certification of postmaster y applications. . N'Jhe report said that whic there b there mistakes made in the certifi cation of candidates for the many places, the investigation it made “would indicate that the mistake were surprisingly few and that such ..as may have been are due to errors M judgment and not to any wrong Hntent.” v “Judged alone by the cases pre sented,the report went on, “this committee believes that the work of the commission was ably and con scientiously performed and that poli tical influence has not been used, or, if sought to be used, had no effect in the examinations conducted un der the supervision of the eonunis sipn or in the making or altering of grab's. It believes also that the acts of ev/’*'ress and executive orders giv ing pcrfcrencc to former service men / i, s |'’npointment to office under civil s, I ice rules have been observed by it3 examiners.** Further in absolving the commis sion of blame, the report said it was beloved that many of the contro versies as to postmaster appoint ments had arisen out of the rule re quiring the names of the three high est eligibles for appointment be cer tified by the commission to.be ap pointing power. It added that there remained a grave question whether there would not have been less complaint had that rule been abrogated and the name of only the highest eligible submitted.

HEf IS USE IF SEEM II MEET ID IMBIBE, Gu b c rnatorial Candidate Opens Up With Fireworks Charging Political Ring is At Work in S. C. Marion, S. C., July 25.—Like a thunder bolt from a clear sky, George K. I.aney candidate for gov ernor, today started a discussion that bids well to increase interest in the State Campaign, when he de clared that he saw evidence on the streets of Marion prior to the time of the meeting, which proved con clusively that there was a politi cal ring at work in South Carolina which is putting out the statement that McLeod is the logical man with which to beat Blease for Governor in the election this summer. The subject was treated with little mercy by Lancy, who denounced the action of sound thinking people in lining up with such an organization. He made a plea to the women in the audience in the entire slate that they be not lead to the polls like sheep to the slaughter, and urged them to vote according to their own independent thought. Mr. Laney acquainted the citizens of Marion County with his record in the General Assembly in the in terest of an education for every hoy and girl in South Carolina, and told them that if they scratched his name on a ballot in the election, they would have to trample over twenty years fighting for the cause which gave the most previous in heritance that is possible for the state to give its sons and daughters. Former Governor Bicase was the first of the candidates for Governor to address the audience today. He declared that the last eight years had witnessed the most extravag ance in expenditures of State funds that has ever been known. He would not charge that there had been cor rption hut said that there had been and arc too many political pets traveling around the state do ing dirty work for cheap politicians sucking the financial life blood of the tax payers without doing any good whatever. With reference to the increase in the educational appropriation lie de clared that too many associate pro fessors, are employed in the in stitutions of the State, in some cases as many as three men doing the work that one man can do in the classroom. He ventured the assertion that should the ministers of the state desire to become acquainted with the situation relative to enforce ment of law, they could probably smell the “evidence” in the amen corners of their churches. He had no apology to make for his pardon record, and stated that some people who critize his record on this score evidently believe that ministers of the gospel should preach the forgiving spirit of Christ. Thomas G. McLeod declared that the only ring which supported him was a majority of the voters of the state, and a ring into which the other candidates are making a futile effort to enter. “Wc must get down to hard tack in the affairs of State, as wc have been forced to do in the home,” he said, “and not sacrifice any of the efficiency that has been de veloped so far.” f John T. Duncan again assailed the newspapers of the state, declar ing that they were trying to give their readers the impression that he was assailing no one but Blease. He today claimed that McLeod and Laney are both sailing under the leadership of Edwin Wales Robert son of Columbia, and are pledged to use their influence to sec that the Columbia canal is delivered over to Robertson for a mere pittance in case either of the two candidates of the system are elected. None of his opponents, he said, are willing to hold up their hands in the mat ter of the skin game that the Sou thern Kell Telephone and Telegraph Cos is getting away with each year in the State, He declared that E. W. Robertson was handed a fortune by his father, who accummulated it in “the days of stealing.” The meeting tomorrow will be held at Dillon, where good race horses, pretty girls and toothsome delicacies such as fried chicken are said to abound. MAM IS BEATEN BY EIGHT MASKED MEN Wilmington, N. C, July 25.—C. R. McLeod, of St. Paul, Robeson Coun ty, was taken from his home last night by eight masked men and giv en a severe flogging, according to a dispatch to the Morning Star. No reason was given for the action of the masked men. T. N. Sibbett and John Pittman have been arrested in connection with the beating, the dis patch added. LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JULY, 27, 1922 ONLY THREE MORE WEEKS GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND NOTHING YET ACCOMPLISHED Both Houses Adjourn Early After Little Routine Work, Senate Pays Honor to Memory of Hall —Savannah's In vitation is Accepted—Legislators to Inspect Proposed Port Terminals. Atlanta, July 25—Wednesday three ! weeks the present General Assembly of Georgia adjourns sine die and passes out of existence. To date there is not one outstanding piece of constructive legislation enacted. The only reform measure of import ance so far is the Australian ballot hill by Speaker Neill which has passed the House, but which thus far is tied up in thc^senatc. If in 18 more working days the two houses can do more than they have thus far accomplished the As sembly will write something on the record pages of the state. Maybe they can. Today the Assembly accomplished nothing. Each house was in session but a short time, working on routine, until a joint session was organized at 11 o'clock to hear an address by Fnited States Senator Wm. J. Harris, immediately after which the House adjurned. The senate reconvened only that it might immediately ad journ out of respect to the memory of the late Hon. Joseph Hill Hall of Macon. The Watkins equalization repeal bfll stands as the special and con tinuing order in the House, and on that all legislative attention centers. It is the definite and foregone con clusion that on this piece of legis lation and the House action on it the fate of the balance of the ses sion hinges, so far as remedial and constructive legislation is concerned. It has been demonstrated that a ma jority of the house, and a substantial one at that, is in favor of the repeal, and the probably better drilled min ority is fighting every step to stave off action, but with mighty fain pros pect. Mildly a filibuster was attemp ted by the minority this morning hv forcing a roll call at the opening and compelling full reading of the en tire journal to the end that the time he occupied right up to 11 o’clock and the hour for the joint session. In that there was success, hut it has served only to stave off the inevit able day and further consume time which might profitably be used to do some constructive work. From the majority wing of the house the in formation came today that they are willing, once the Watkins hill has been victoriously set and finally passed to jump in and pass a luxury tax hill, a mild income tax bill or whatever may he deemed necessary to supply the needed revenue to the treasury. The rules committee today, in its recommendation of a calendar, fixed the proposed three per cent income tax hill to follow immediately af ter the Watkins repeal bill, and the classification tax bill to immediately follow that. This order of business follows the harmoony plan which Representative Lankford of Toombs has for several days been trying to DISMISS CASE Against Josiah T. Rose. Ac cused Claims Politics Were to Blame. Atlanta. Ga., July 25.—Josiah T. Rose, internal revenue collector, against whom certain charges were lodged by Mrs. Frank O. Cooper, as part of a palpable political attack, and which she has now withdrawn entirely, declared today, when the case was dismissed by the federal commissioner, that the withdrawal of the complaint is tantamount of an admission of guilt on the part of the complainants. He asserts that developments have proven the political plot which had hatched against him. PROBATE WILL OF EDWARD W. BARRETT Birmingham. Ala, July 25—The last will and testament of the late Kdward W. Barrett, editor and prin cipal owner of the Birmingham Age- Herald was formally probated today and letters testamentary were issued to Mrs. Lewis B. Barrett, widow of the deceased as executrix and also as guardian of the children of the deceased. The will provided that Mrs. Bar rett be appointed executrix and also designated her as guardian of the three children, Kdward Barrett, Jr., Kitty Barrett and Miss Jane Barrett. It also requested that no bond be required of Mrs. execu trix and that she be required to make no reports to any court. The estate of the deceased is to be divided share and share alike among the widow and children ex cept the shares in the Age-Herald Publishing Company. These shares are left intrust to Mrs. Barrett to he kept together and voted by bet as a unit to insure the continued publication of the Age-Herald along the same policy and by a similar organization as during the de ceased's life. Mrs. Barrett has already been elec ted president and publisher of the Age-Herald by the board of direc tors. PRAISES MEMBERS Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—Governor Hardwick took occasion today, at the Kiwanis Club luncheon, at which he and members of the general as sembly were guests, to pay especial tribute to the pcrsonel of the house and senate, declaring that the two houses are made up of men of an especially high character. The in cident follows the recent outbreak in the senate in connection with the Quitman speech. work out, tlie effect of it being that tlie repeal hill will he established on the calendar and the two tax bills will stand in order for final action before the repeal hill is put on its final passage. Whether the major ity of the house will allow that schedule to stand tomorrow will de velop. The Watkins hill, once on the calendar, is in numerical order for immediate passage, and it may he pressed for by that branch of the House. Roth branches of the Assembly will stand adjourned Saturday, and for a time at least, from now on, the social engagements will occupy at tention. Tommorrow evening begin ning at 6:ilO the city of Atlanta of ficially is to be host to all members of the Asembly and Governor Hard wick, at a “made-in-Georgia” dinner, which will he hut the huh around which is to be unwound a program of extraordinary and wonderful “stunts,* “interspersed kith music, interpretative dancing and some vaudeville. The program under the auspices of the city council, is prob ably the most elaborate and unique ever devised even in Atlanta. Roth branches of the Assembly to day accepted an invitation from the ■City of Savannah, extended for May or Murray Stewart by Senator John Foy and the Chatham House delega tion. which contemplates the entire membership of the Assembly, the governor and all state House offi cials becoming Savannah’s guests from Friday evening, when they are to hoard a special train in Atlanta, until they shall have returned Mon day morning on the same special train. Saturday and Sunday are to he spent by the party looking over Savannah, studying the proposed site for a great state terminal plant and recreating Saturday night and Sunday on Tvbee Island—with all its attractions. The resolution inviting the As sembly was vociferously adopted in both branches. What may prove further fertile ground for argument was introduced in the House today by Mr. Williams of Walton, in the shap of a resolu tion which provides that, inasmuch as the biennial sessions bill has been passed in the House 1 aS"Tffl economy measure, the House now set about enacting three more im portant economy measures as fol lows: 1. A hill to abolish the State Tax Commissioner. 2. A hill to abolish the State Prison Commission 3. A hill to reduce the salaries of all officers and state employers, in cluding the members of the General Assembly, by 25 per cent. The re solution was referred to the House graveyard—the committee on “State of the Republic.” JUDGE SIBLEY RULES On Methods Which Ma/ Legally Be Employed By Unions in Placing Pickets.

The Senator said be bad no ap poligies to make that much more has not been done in national congres sional legislation for the past year and a half, because of the fact that the congress and the administration are Republican, and Democratic members, therefore, are naturally under handicap.
